This summary article provides an overview of the "Unit Digest", "Stable Report" and "Ship Profile" type publications that have been published as exclusive content through the BattleCorps website.
- Unit Digests provide information on smallish, less notable military commands in the same fashion as larger units are presented in the Field Manual series of sourcebooks, typically presenting an overview over the unit and its role and history, its individual sub-units, personnell files for six selected unit members, and random allocation tables appropriate for whatever type of vehicle the unit in question typically employs.
- Stable Reports depict one of the smaller and less notable MechWarrior Stables in the Solaris Games on Solaris VII or any other world featuring 'Mech duelling events. Similar to Unit Digests, they typically contain a description of the stable with separate sections on Instructors, Technicians, Facilities and Tactics, as well as a rundown of available 'Mechs, a Random Allocation Table and some information about six notable characters from the stable.
- Ship Profiles present one specific space ship and its crew during a given time period, including brief dossiers on six notable crew members.
The list is sorted in ascending chronological order of publication. Articles are listed here with the exact same name as listed on BattleCorps, irrespective of possibly deviating names within the document proper or the name of the downloadable PDF file.

Stable Report: Gilgamesh Stables
- (29 November 2010)
A BattleCorps Stable Report is a gameplay aid designed to offer players a glimpse into one of the myriad unnamed and unkown smaller level MechWarrior stables in the Inner Sphere. This first report is a smaller stable on Solaris VII, in the year 3013.
Description of the Gilgamesh Stables, a small arena stable affiliated with House Marik with 18 'Mechs available to them.
Unit Digest: Hawke's Horde
- (16 December 2010)
